Congrats on Snowy's pregnancy! I don't think it's likely to cause any harm to the pregnancy. As long as she doesn't sustain any serious trauma along the way! Even the stress of a vet visit with a very nervous mama dog will not harm the puppies in a normal pregnancy. Take her for a walk before hand so she is a little more tired than normal and make sure to bring treats along so she can at least have some positive reinforcement. Best of luck!
